Time has come to let go of an old friend. She has been sitting for way to long and needs to find a new home to bring he back onto the track. I bought her back in 2002 from Joe Thrift in Maine after he blew up the motor. I built a 5.0L hybrid motor, slapped in an old Devek roll bar and started to hit the track with my first club race in 2003. As the bug bit me more I went full out in 2005 with the 6.4l stroker and how it is configured today. First outing was a 24 hour tow to the Sebring club-race.
Here are some pictures and what I remember on specs.

EuroS Base car fully stripped and lightened ~2800lbs

S4 front and rear bumpers

Front splitter and Carbon Wing

Rear hatch plexiglass

Louie Ott’s rear fender flares

Full roll cage with NASCAR bars

ATL Aluminum fuel cell with black box surge kit

Kirkey Aluminum Seat (15”) with back brace

Schroth Hans 6 pt harness-expired last year, ok for DE

SafeCraft 10lbs Halon fire system- three nozzles

Light weight battery

S4 suspension-900/400 hyper coils/Bilstein shocks

12x11 Forgeline wheels- 305 fronts/335 rear tires

GTS front Calipers/ S4 rear calipers

Adjustable rear sway

Upgraded front swaybar

Quick release steering wheel with AIM Mycron gauge/info mounted on wheel

89 S4 5 speed with extra friction disc in LSD and trans cooler

Tilton triple disc racing clutch

6.4L Engine:

DTA Pro8 engine control and wide band O2- Louie Ott program

Scat crank, Olivier Rods, 104mm 944 pistons, GT Block

Dry Sumped w/ 5 gallon heated tank

Custom Web camshafts

Ported heads w/ 968 intakes

Louie Ott designed individual Throttle bodies and custom carbon fiber airbox



Engine produced 550hp to the wheels (~650 crank) when new. Currently has two weak cyl. Will need to be disassembled and evaluated. Runs fine, but to much blowby for use on the track as is. Will throw in a spare block.
Asking $34,928

 

John - the 5.0L hybrid is still hummin' along...different owner now but still going strong...GLWS

 

And then there was one ........................................

 

A few photos of John's car at Sebring:

 

Nice car at a fair price...... With a spare block included, could be a simple bore job and some new rings, assuming the pistons aren't damaged. Dry sump is a HUGE plus as well.......

Bummer I am poor

 

Great race car are you open to trades? or cash only? I have a 87 s4 5sd street car and 2 928 race cars I would offer in trade. But sounds like you're done wit racing?

 

yep, nice car for a more than fair price…. can't build one for that .

Interesting for me... John, do i see a hot air exit in the hood which i don't see in the later posted pics ?
How is this build ? can you show a pic from it in & outside please ?

 

Nice to see the Coke car in some of those pics.

 

Yes, I have hot air to exit. I'll snap a picture this weekend for you

 

I'm not racing anymore so want to cash out at this point.

 

Dave K.,
Thanks for those pictures. Very fond memories of that event and all it took to get there!

 

Hi Brad,
Glad that motor is still in service. Was my first 928 motor build.Great motor with 300hp to the wheels with CIS injection!

 

Thanks John !

Could you buy something to use/adapt …. or is it custom made ?

 

I understand wanting to cash out I feel that way my self from time to time. Good luck with the sale, great car for the right guy.

 

man I look at your racer and think to myself, all that time and money.......you dont want to sell, thats your baby !!!
